Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) slammed the foreign policy of President Donald Trump and even compared him to former President Barack Obama. The Guardian newspaper asked McCain what message Trump was sending the United Kingdom when he criticized London Mayor Sadiq Khan after the June 3 terror attack which left eight dead and dozens wounded. “They are not sure of American leadership, whether it be in Siberia or whether it be in Antarctica,” McCain told the Guardian. The newspaper then asked if America’s standing around the world was better under Obama. This is a major departure for McCain, who lost to Obama in the 2008 presidential election and was a fierce critic of his former rival’s foreign policy.
